A purpose-built floating shooting head that loads light two-handers deeply and swings soft hackles and small streamers with effortless grace.
The RIO Elite Trout Spey Shooting Head brings true Spey performance down to trout size. The compact 23-foot head handles touch-and-go and sustained-anchor casts alike, and the ultra-low-stretch ConnectCore Plus core delivers crisp casting feedback and instant contact on the swing.
Welded loops on both ends make rigging fast: run your favorite shooting line off the back, and loop a tapered leader, Trout VersiLeader, or 10 ft replacement tip to the front to tune your presentation to the water. Grain-matched sizes #1 through #5 cover the full range of modern trout Spey rods. Note that a separate shooting or running line is required.
